0:01Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins.

0:02You're listening to Habits and Hustle, Gresham.

0:07Welcome to Habits and Hustle, where I sit down with the world's biggest thinkers, entrepreneurs, athletes, and experts to uncover the habits and strategies that actually move the needle in your health, happiness, and success.

0:20And today, I'm sitting down with John Gordon, one of the most influential leadership authors and speakers in the world.

0:26He has worked with everyone, CEOs, professional athletes, championship teams, and some of the biggest organizations in business and sports.

0:35He is the author of 32 books, including The Energy Bus, which was rejected by 30 publishers before selling more than 3 million copies.

0:44And his latest book now is called The Power of Positive Habits.

0:48In this episode, we get into what positivity actually means, why negative thoughts do not deserve your automatic trust, and how leaders create strong cultures, the habit you need to build before you build any other habit, and why one destructive pattern can cancel out all the good habits you're trying to create.
